HISTORY
Performing arts history in San Marino
San Marino has no civic theater — it has something rarer: the Huntington. Since 1919 the estate has doubled as the city's performance hall, from the Grammy-winning Southwest Chamber Music ensemble's summer festivals on the mansion loggia to MUSE/IQUE's garden concerts, which have brought thousands to the botanical gardens each summer since 2011.

Free trial policy
Free trials are limited to one (1) free group class and one (1) free private lesson per student, across all programs, and are subject to availability. Free trial private music lessons — including voice — require a deposit of 50% of the first-lesson rate at the time of booking. After the trial lesson is attended, the deposit is either refunded or applied toward enrollment. If the student does not show up for the scheduled trial, or cancels with less than 24 hours' notice, the deposit is forfeited. The deposit requirement applies to music and voice private lessons only; acting and dance offer free group class trials instead, and private lessons in those programs are generally reserved for advanced students. Additional restrictions may apply — contact the PopRock front desk for details. This offer may be rescinded at any time.
